The outpatient management of a minor burn (first or second degree) involving less than 10% body surface area could include all of the following EXCEPT

Correct Answer: C

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: For trauma patients, the jaw thrust (not chin lift) is the preferred airway maneuver to avoid cervical spine movement and further injury.
